Calls for service ranged from an accidental shooting at the Too Broke for Sturgis event (report S15-02234) to a one vehicle non-injury rollover collision on a dirt road near Blue Ridge (report S15-02236).

On Sunday, CCSO deputies, Navajo Nation police officers and Arizona Department of Public Safety officers responded to the report of a fight involving multiple combatants along the side of AZ Highway 89 in the area of milepost 456.

  1. Again NoAZ attracts low level events at what cost to the community & law enforcement?? What’s the reason we’ve promoted biker gangs etc to come? OK if they gather fine if they are law abiding, but look at the jerks!!And that peace & spiritual Narcissism event was c’mon about giving peace & drugs a chance pomp & circumstance at least the cops easily police like the drinking & drunks at the brew fest. Fires started by vagrants & illegals escaping responsibility while citizens dollars pay for it? Tired of clogged roads, accidents, daytrippers & stoneheads but not having people care hurts the most about saving our AZ fragile ecosystems!!
